[quote=Anonymous]NP here.

I did an online search for college majors that are best for c/b student who likes space/science but not math. And this is what I got:

[b]Earth Science / Geology[/b]: These majors focus on understanding the Earth's processes, history, and materials. While some math is involved, it tends to be less intensive than in physics or engineering. Geology coursework often includes hands-on fieldwork and conceptual understanding.
[b]Environmental Science[/b]: This interdisciplinary field combines biology, chemistry, geology, and ecology to study environmental issues and human interaction with the environment. While there might be some math, the emphasis is often on understanding concepts and problem-solving, according to CollegeVine.
[b]Space Studies [/b](BA): Some universities offer a Bachelor of Arts in Space Studies, which takes a more interdisciplinary approach to space exploration compared to a Bachelor of Science (BS) in Astrophysics. This might involve less focus on the complex mathematical and scientific aspects and more on historical, cultural, or policy aspects of space exploration.
[b]Science Communication/Journalism: [/b]If the student enjoys learning and writing about space and science without needing to conduct research themselves, a career in science communication or journalism focused on space could be a good fit. This involves understanding scientific concepts and communicating them effectively to a wider audience, which requires strong communication skills rather than advanced math.
[b]Biology[/b]: While biology still involves some math, especially in areas like genetics or ecology, it's generally considered less math-intensive than fields like physics or engineering.

It's important to remember
Most college degrees will involve some level of math, even if it's general education requirements like algebra.
Some colleges may offer specific tracks within majors that are less math-heavy.
Exploring interests through introductory courses in different fields can help clarify which specific aspects of science and space are most appealing and how much math is involved in those areas.
